1994 Ford Granada scorpio review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent car in every way. Truly!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
De-ice thermostat
Warped disks
Very Small amount of rust in arches.
General comments?
This car was truly outstanding in every way, I know there maybe many that do not believe me, but its true!
The car was exceptionally smooth and quiet. Not incredibly fast, but very good considering the size of the car. Very well equipped and everything worked perfectly. Body in excellent condition except for very small amount of rust in arches. Easily and cheaply sorted by local body shop. Even though the Scorpio I owned after was more modern and did hold the road better it was nowhere near as reliable or as easy to work on. It truly is a shame I smashed it up or I would still have it now. Only small niggle would be the stupidly huge fuel consumption. 20mpg average 28mpg if driven real steady on a run! However cheap parts and servicing offset considerably. I do think however I did have an exceptional example as there was receipts for thousands of pounds from the previous owner.
